I will activate this ability in response to casting my own Calibrated Blast
Lol, that would be hilarious but I take your point, restricting the search to sorcery speed would round some edges.
Technically it would still work for Calibrated blast, but its sorcery speed still a good idea so that you can't use it on your opponent's endstep and immediately draw the card.
I'm pretty sure that ability just doesn't work anyway, because you aren't required to find anything when you search your library for it, so I could activate this ability as a free hand discard for dredge decks without ever actually having to demonstrate that the card is actually in my deck.

I noticed that's a clause on 1996 World Champion, but I wasn't sure if it needed to be included. I'm guessing this would push into Acorn territory regardless?

I think if you changed it to this is could be workable.
Discard 7 cards: Search your library for Gift of the Champion, reveal it, then shuffle and put it on top. Activate only at the beginning of your upkeep.
Dredge can't use it on turn one and the 7 card restriction prevents potential abuse.

This whole ability doesn't work. The card doesn't have the ability while it's in the library. You can't activate the ability of this card in the library (a hidden zone) any more than you can activate any other card while it's in the library.
Maybe with some Panglacial Wurm-type wording? Requires some outside search effect to do anything, but I don't think there's another way for a card to sort of pull itself from your deck.
While activating an ability in the library is a mess. Activating an ability from your sideboard is fairly easy. Would pulling it from the sideboard cause any problems with the intent of the design?
